How to manage IAppBuilder mapping at runtime?

Question

I'm trying to use Branched Pipeline to defined some sort of virtual directory.

a good example is done here: Run different frameworks side-by-side with OWIN

public class Startup
{
    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        app.UseWebApi(new MyHttpConfiguration());
        app.Map("/newSite", site =>
        {
            site.MapSignalR();
            site.UseNancy();
        });
    }
}

Here I can have a virtual directory newSite with a custom HttpConfiguration.

This configuration is done in the Startup class and it works. But I would like to be able to add/change the IAppBuilder at runtime during the lifetime of the App. Indeed I'm using the SelfHost Server and I would like to create new virtual directory (or subsite or anything else) using a admin console to create a pluggable architecture with differents component (api/authorization handler etc...) with configuration at runtime.

Is it possible?

I don't know where I can apply a new configuration during runtime

Thanks a lot

Best Regards.

It is not possible to adjust the OWIN configuration after it has been set.

The only alternative is to simply restart your server, making the Configuration method run again.
